Miley Cyrus ‘Can’t Stop’ Hyping Fans For ‘RiDONKulous’ New Video

Miley Cyrus can't stop, and her fans are totally cool with it. The day after Miley premiered her new single, the 20-year-old singer has fans hyped for what's next, including the music video, slated for release next week.

On Tuesday (June 4), the singer tweeted about seeing an early cut of the clip, shot in L.A. last week. "Just watched #wecantstop 1st edit #musicvideo #riDONKulous," Miley tweeted, later posting a still featuring the singer in a white spandex bottom and crop top, laying on the ground with several extras.

"Reading @MileyCyrus tweets and screaming everytime she tweets about #WeCantStop," @RockMafiaEnglnd wrote about all the singer's updates since she dropped the single on Monday.

In addition to wanting to know every move the singer makes next, the tune has become quite the addiction for the Smilers, with @mykidrauhlovato writing, "I have listened to #wecantstop more than 5288489983385 times. can't get over it. @MileyCyrus."

Fans are even getting into the fun by inventing their own hashtags for the Mike Will Made It-produced tune, the lead single off Miley's album, due out later this year: "#cantstoplisteningtothesong," @andonovian13 wrote.

It's been three years since Miley dropped a new album — her last release was 2010's Can't Be Tamed — and fans are feeling her new, more mature image and sound. "I love We Can't Stop. This part: 'It's my mouth I can say what I want to' just killing me. @MileyCyrus U r bak, bby," @AuriLR tweeted.

@Oficial_MsHoran added, "I missed so much miley cyrus music !!! #WeCantStop Is Perfect to meeeeeeee ! Thank ...

Kristen Stewart Rakes In Roles With ‘Camp X-Ray,’ ‘Sils Maria’

Kristen Stewart may be done with the "Twilight" saga, but she's got plenty in store for her fans — if they can grow as much as she hopes to as an actress.

Stewart is set to star in back-to-back projects that begin shooting this summer. According to Deadline.com, she signed up to play the lead in "Camp X-Ray," a military drama about Guantanamo Bay directed by Peter Sattler, and "Sils Maria," a character study by director Olivier Assayas.

"Camp X-Ray" follows a young woman who enlists in the army to escape her small-town existence, only to find herself stationed at Guantanamo Bay. After struggling to maintain authority over the Muslim men she's assigned to watch, she befriends a young man who is imprisoned in the facility for a period of eight years.

"Sils Maria," meanwhile, co-stars Juliette Binoche and Chloe Grace Moretz, and focuses on an aging actress (Binoche) who becomes fascinated by a young counterpart (Moretz). The younger actress works on reinventing a role that made the older actress popular and famous when she was beginning her career. Stewart reportedly plays Binoche's character's assistant.

The two projects follow a couple of rumored films that Stewart is supposed to also be working on, the dramedy , and "Snow White and the Huntsman 2," which does not yet have a director, although she and co-star Chris Hemsworth are currently rumored to be returning.

Stewart wrapped up the "Twilight" saga last year with the release of "Breaking Dawn - Part 2," where she completed the journey of her character, Bella Swan. She ...

‘Man Of Steel’ Featurette: Seven Things We Learned

"Man of Steel" promises audiences a Superman story unlike any they've ever seen before — and from the material unveiled thus far, it's pretty obvious that fans aren't in Smallville anymore. A new featurette released Tuesday (June 4) offers even more insight into the amazing world that director Zack Snyder and producer Christopher Nolan reinvented.

"It's about the potential for every person to be a force for good," co-star Russell Crowe explains of the film. Snyder hopes the project will allow audiences to "participate in the experience of being Superman without breaking the things that make him Superman." Meanwhile, according to David S. Goyer, "Man of Steel" aims to create "a more realistic Superman -- a Superman that exists in a real world."

MTV News pored over the 13-minute featurette and assembled a list of highlights that fans might want to pay attention to when watching

David Goyer Co-Wrote, But It's Zack Snyder's Baby
According to the featurette, Nolan and Goyer began working on the story while Nolan was directing "The Dark Knight Rises." But when Snyder joined the project, he was evidently the one who gave it real shape. According to his cast, the filmmaker's attention to detail and specificity of vision gave them confidence as they embarked on reviving the hero for a new generation of fans.

Filmmakers Couldn't Justify Those Red Undies
In the process of reinventing the character, every part of his iconography came under scrutiny — including his costume. Zack and producer Deborah Snyder observed that Kal-El's trademark drawers were the byproduct of a different era, and so ...

‘World War Z’: Brad Pitt Got Muse To Rock Zombie Apocalypse

For a horror film to really hit home and scare the crap out of the audience, it takes sounds that match the sights in terrifying power, and Brad Pitt took that to heart when he was making "World War Z." The A-lister has a producer credit on the enormous zombie apocalypse flick in addition to starring in it, and on the red-carpet premiere for "World War Z," Pitt told MTV News correspondent Iggy Azalea how Muse fit the bill for the soundtrack.

With "World War Z," in theaters June 21, Pitt wanted to find a song that could be associated with the zombie film like the now iconic "Tubular Bells" is connected to "The Exorcist."

"Two years ago, we wanted to find — remember the theme from 'The Exorcist'? It's called 'Tubular Bells,' " Pitt said. "We wanted to find something like that."

While that search began, the English rock band Muse released their most recent album, The 2nd Law, and the whole thing worked out for the best.

"At the same time, these guys were reading the book, unbeknownst to us, and were fans of the book. They wrote the album that's out now, 'The 2nd Law.' On it, we found the song, 'The 2nd Law,' that we thought was exactly what we were looking for for the film," Pitt said. "It just kind of worked out in a nice, kismet kind of way."

The pairing grew into something more than just a featured slot on the soundtrack. As you can check out in the video above, Muse also played an enormous ...

Flo Rida’s Manager On His Game 7 Ejection: ‘We Go Hard In Dade County’

There wasn't much drama on the court during Monday night's winner-take-all Game 7 showdown between the Miami Heat and the upstart Indiana Pacers, as Lebron James and Co. blew Indy out of the building ... but off the court, well, that was a different matter entirely.

With just over two minutes left in the game — and the Heat up by 26 — things got a little chippy between the Pacers' Jeff Pendergraph and Miami's Norris Cole. Both players would end up being ejected for their brief scrap (NBA officials: nothing, if not reactionary), and, as Pendergraph was in the process of leaving the court, he got into a rather zesty war of words with a Heat fan seated behind the Indiana bench ... who just so happened to be rapper Flo Rida's manager, Lee "Freezy" Prince.

Neither Pendergraph or Prince seemed ready to back down, and neither did several other members of the Pacers. So, fearing the worst, American Airlines Arena security — and at least one uniformed police officer — intervened (you can see a .GIF of the action here). As a result, Prince was also ejected from the game ... and earned a modicum of Internet celebrity in the process.

So, hours after he got the boot from Game 7, we emailed Prince to get his side of the story. And let's just say he wasn't repentant.

"The feeling of the Miami Heat win became too much for them, so when they got physical I got vocal," Prince wrote. "I'm not a fair weather fan; we ...

Timeflies In ‘Perfection Mode’ On Debut Album

Combining electro flair and freestyle raps, the infectious radio-friendly pop hits of Timeflies make the duo an MTV Artist to Watch.

Timeflies — producer Rob Resnick and vocalist Cal Shapiro — formed in 2010 at Tufts University, where, during a night of partying, they realized they had a lot in common.

"I was definitely in the zone at a party, and I was freestyling, because I had a little bit of scotch and you get a little sauced and things happen," Shapiro told MTV News. "And [Resnick] was beatboxing, and he was like, 'Yeah, I got this six-piece funk band; you should come down and sing.' At this point, I was scared to sing in public, [but] I went down there, and we started covering songs."

The two began perfecting their sound, working out of their makeshift studio in Resnick's dorm room. They created "Timeflies Tuesdays," a weekly YouTube event where they released a new cover or freestyle rap every Tuesday night for 68 weeks.

Fans quickly climbed on the Timeflies bandwagon, helping both of their EPs reach chart success, with their second, One Night, reaching #1 on the iTunes pop chart.

The MTV Artist to Watch is riding high off its recently released cut the lead single off their upcoming debut album.

The Island Def Jam signees, who collaborated with JoJo and Mike Posner on the album, are still unsure which tracks will make the final cut. They promise fans everything will be decided in the next month for what they hope will be an end-of-summer release.

Rick Ross’ Lost Reebok Deal Will Be A ‘Learning Situation’ For Meek Mill, Rockie Fresh

Rick Ross' failed Reebok deal sparked a ton of debate and controversy, but now that a little time has passed, the Boss is able to find some positives in how things went down.

"It most definitely was a learning situation and just for the little homeys, just something for them to take away," Ross said, referring to his Maybach Music Group artists. "That's what's important to me, what they take away from it," he added as MTV News sat down with him and his MMG crew to promote their upcoming August 6 compilation, Self Made, Vol. 3.

In April, Reebok severed ties with Rozay after mounting pressure from women's rights organizations like UltraViolet, which charged that the rapper was promoting rape with a controversial lyric on Rocko's "U.O.E.N.O." Though Ross repeatedly expressed that was never his intention, the incident did raise questions about a rapper's responsibility and brand endorsements.

Last year, Meek Mill inked a deal with Puma, before his debut album, Dreams & Nightmares, was released, and now Rockie Fresh has also linked up with the sneaker brand. Ross hopes that in some way, his MMG protégés will learn from his situation.

"I'm in a position where if I never sold another shoe, Rozay good. So it's really about what the little homeys who coming next gonna take away from it," he said.

As far as Reebok goes, Ross doesn't hold any ill will toward the sneaker giant, but he isn't quite ready to break down the nuts and bolts of their original agreement or how things ended. "At ...
